OLAADEGBU:


While we should applaud the driver for reporting himself we should address the supposed speed a driver should be doing in a built up area that would reduce the rampant killings on our roads today?

Can you imagine what the police said. Someone straying in a road is immaterial . Well the court will decide .

We4all:





I know people who have been in this situation. The money conscious family members preferred monetary compensation and never escalated the case.

Yes. There is usually nothing to gain by escalating the case, so better to opt for monetary compensation.

Ur problem be say U no wan accept and learn na why u go continue be failure... pray for life make unforeseen incidents wey u no pray or plan for happen to u.. na then u go fit judge that driver. Ur iQ low guy aswear

brother I done drive for Chicago, Indiana, London, Preston,Bolton ( wanderers ), Lagos, oyo, Osun state walahi talahi dan boro uba shege no unforeseen circumstances can catch me unawares when I am driving . Walahi talahi

He left the scene to the station to avoid being probably lynched by mobs, but good he reported himself, not running away.

sukkot:
Stupid man needs to be locked up. While driving you should have situational awareness and if you are incapable of braking before hitting someone you are either over speeding or you do not have situational awareness. Lock the fool up . Just dey kee pesin upanda

Sukkot!

ddippset:
No

Not trying to justify...

Even a punch can kill a man nowadays, with all the wahala in the country.

Talkless of a car knock down.


Very unfortunate event.

but why are you knocking people down with car ?

sylve11:


Sukkot!

Why is it news that he did the right thing?

Fryx:


Yeah. He’s a bad guy because he chose not to run away like many would have. Retard!

why is he kee pipo with his car ? That's a good person to you ? Awon werey

sukkot:
brother all these excuses na for people wey dey live inside third world jungle, if you have been fortunate enough to drive in a first world country they do not listen to dumb excuses like the one you just presented. You are taught how to calculate every situation and foresee every situation before it happens . And you should not be driving at a rate where your brakes cannot be applied effectively. You AFRICAN mad people are operating a dangerous weapon ( a vehicle is a dangerous weapon ) casually without thinking about the life of others . It's very typical in Nigeria to be that selfish and egotistic

Hehehe

Quest7777:

Fine.
But he will still face manslaughter charges & pay compensations to the man's family.

But how come he couldn't find the man after knocking him down? Perhaps the man could have survived if rushed to hospital immediately.

it's an accident... He did d best thing by running to d police station... Iswr d way people dey vex now....if he was caught ni.... Dem fit burn am together with him car.... D late persons family might decide not to press charges.... I've seen several cases like dat.... They jst ask d driver to buy burial stuffs like coffin

Sukkot you nor tell me sey you dey quick vex like this o. 😆 🤣

If.he.is found guilty of manslaughter, there would not be an issue of payment of compensation to the man' s family.

Compensation can only come up where the family is not settling the issue out of Court.

OLAADEGBU:

"Yes, there was an accident and someone died; the issue that somebody ran into the road is immaterial.

See ignorance! How can a police officer say "the issue that somebody ran into the road is immaterial"? This may be the game changer for the man if it can be proven that he wasn't going over the speed limit or driving carelessly or that the pedestrian is a jaywalker. Yes, Police will conduct a thorough investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding the accident. This includes interviewing witnesses, taking statements from the driver involved, examining the scene, and gathering evidence. The goal is to establish the cause of the accident and any potential factors that could have caused the accident.

Nice you turned your self in. even though a life was lost I feel the trauma won’t last for long. Meanwhile get ready for case and to spend money because even if he’s a mad man, the family will show up and tell you he has been the bread winner since 20years

Ajala the traveller, ur claimed exposure never still make u understand sey you can never be too careful inside life or perfect for u abi.. e dey work for u no mean say u sabi na grace still work for u. Continue dey pray make e no seize

Why couldn't he divert into the bush and kill himself, instead of killing the pedestrian?

He should be charged for murder and jail

But that road is an Expressway, drivers there are usually on speed except for when they're around the built up sections of the road.

You cleared off the man with an incredible speed to the extent that you can't find the body anywhere close to the road.
I've had several situations where someone will suddenly drift onto the road unexpectedly but driving at a sane speed always allow for a Swift and effective reaction to avoid a collision and I always thank God for His mercies

That of your own is manslaughter with a cosmetic attempt to evade punishment from God and man.

speed limit dey bro. This is not the autobahn

Yes. But the man claimed he stopped & went to search for the victim but didn't find him. 🤔
Police will 1st investigate this & others to be sure there is no foul play.

HarunaWest:
They are taught yen yen yen yet in the U.SA there has been a total of 19,522 fatal hit and runs in the last 10 years? Am not sure Nigerias own us even half if that. If you are tured of being African, go join them over there. Humans are same everywhere.

Don't mind the guy with inferiority complex

Inferiority complex is your problem.

I think he did not want to wait at that time to avoid mob action, he can be kill and his car burnt you know our people in naija. That was why he quickly ran to the station for protection.

Timothy89:
You knock someone down, and a man that will be unconscious for several hours, you couldn't see him, shebi your car na butterfly that hit and make the victim disappear


Instead of you to rush the victim to hospital maybe they can still revive him, you reported yourself at the police station instead leaving the person to have internal bleeding that might be attended to with first aid treatment if you had rush him to hospital



You dey form law obedience instead of saving humanity

God bless you sir/ma. You hit person,you dey talk say you no see am again. Which kin level be that.

surgebitcoin:
